What you’re looking at

This page contains several satirical pieces mocking early 20th-century workplace and domestic life: **"The New Boss"** cartoon depicts a hierarchical office scene where a new female boss corrects an employee's spelling, illustrating workplace power dynamics and the novelty of women in supervisory roles. **"Welfare Work"** section sarcastically lists employer "benefits"—lengthy lunch breaks, pencil-sharpeners by windows for daydreaming, four o'clock tea, early departures at 4:45—that supposedly benefit workers but actually encourage time-wasting and reduced productivity. The satire critiques corporate "welfare capitalism" programs as performative rather than genuinely helpful. **"Truthful Johnny"** and **"Imaginary"** are brief humor pieces about excuses and fabrication. **"The Motor Tub"** illustrates a bathtub positioned near a window as a convenient location for answering phones or doorbells—absurdist domestic humor. The page also includes a Mouquin Vermouth advertisement noting alcohol was removed for legal sale, referencing Prohibition-era restrictions.

With our office barbers, employees may be shaved, etc., while in this position, and this saves much time to the employee. Wheel chairs may be supplied to em- ployees who wish to conserve their strength for greater and nobler achievements. 7. Employees should take plenty of time at noon hour, as this breaks up the day and rests them for the gruel- ling afternoon’s work. 8. Always have a pleasant word for | your co-workers. Visiting with them will promote the morale, and long dis- cussions about the bonus will help create a clubby atmosphere. All pen- cil-sharpeners should be placed near windows, in order that our employees Judge’s Contest for Smiles So many entries have been re- ceived in the contest for the clippings of smiling faces that Jupce is able to announce the contest was a great success; all records were broken.

Always wait until there are several people around the machine, as many happy hours may be passed in gay conversation. Do not spare the pencils, as the odor of cedar shavings carries the mind forward to the vaca- tion days among the pines and the hem- locks, inducing that pleasant dreamy mood so conducive to business. 9. The four o'clock tea hour is a pleasant diversion, and offers the ex- hausted employee the much - needed strength in the final stretches of the day. Employees who prefer rum in their tea need but notify the office hostess. The Chicago is suggested as the best dance, as this exercise ex- hilarates the employee and makes him fit for efficient work. 10. Above all, be sure to quit early. Remember it is the early bird that catches the empty Bronx ex- press, and it gives prestige to the firm to have the prosperous and genteel employees go gaily, laughingly on their homeward way, happy and care-free at 4.45.
